Municipal politics is about the ground game. Pressing the flesh at community association barbecues and cultural centres, visiting seniors, knocking on doors, working the phones, and being involved in the local community at the grassroots level. Stuff that pretty much doesn’t show up in the media. You can win decisive support with engagement at that scale because only a small fraction of people vote in municipal elections.
